Morena’s Mexican Cuisine in Huntington Beach is proudly owned and operated by the Rosales family, built on a passion for hospitality and authentic Mexican cooking. Located across from Bella Terra at Edinger and Gothard, our coastal restaurant brings bold flavors, mesquite wood-fire grilling, and warm family hospitality together under one roof.
Led by Head Chef Aurelio Sánchez, our kitchen focuses on tradition, fresh ingredients, and from-scratch preparation — from handmade tortillas and house salsas to perfectly grilled arrachera and pollo asado.
More than just a restaurant, Morena’s is a place where community gathers, celebrations happen, and every guest is welcomed like family.
